Cherish your life

Do you know how fortunate you are to being able to do what you want at this time?
Do you know how fortunate you are to being able to attend school/university/college?
Do you know how fortunate you are to being able to rant about your stupid workload while others don't have a chance to do so?
Do you know how fortunate you are to being able to jump around/shout whenever you want?
Do you know how fortunate you are to being able to complain about how shitty your life is when someone wants to live like how you would lived your life?
Some people might want to achieve something big in their life but they didn't have an opportunity to do so.
Some people might want to get access to tertiary education but they couldn't afford it at all.
Some people don't mind have your version of shitty life as long as they get food, shelter and clothes.
There's so many things which we want to do in our life. So many things which we think that it will be better in 'THIS' way or 'THAT' way for us. Hence, we complain because what we have is so imperfect for us. But, do you know that these are the things that someone are dying to have it if they have the opportunity as you. We are selfish human beings. Well, very greedy as well. We want something which is better for us, not holding on something we already have and work on it.
But, do you know that someone in this world has a better opportunity than you but him/her didn't get to reach the end of his/her goal. Things happened. I mean bad incident.
I heard about a student who got killed in a accident last weekend. He was a very bright student with a very bright future. But, God took him away.
This incident makes me ponder. Anything can happen to anyone in this world. I won't say stuff like 'I want to do 'this' or 'that' after I retire.' Planning 40 years ahead is so unrealistic. Planning 10 years ahead might be unrealistic to some people who knew that they couldn't live so long.
The only you thing which you can do is cherish what you want and work on what you already have. Don't look at something you want to have, work on what you already have and makes it better. Don't be greedy. Do whatever you can and when time comes, you won't say 'Damn. I should have done that instead.'
Cherish everyone beside you and the moment which you are having now.
